Then his palms hit the cold brick,
caging me in.
Arms all lean muscle,
veins crawling up his forearms.
His breath grazes my mouth,
my jaw, my pulse.
He’s waiting me out,
for me to make the first move.
So I look into his eyes when I say it?—
“I want you.”
Three words.
Three walls collapsing,
dust and bricks at my feet.
“Andrew, Ifuckin’—”
He grabs my jaw,
his mouth’s on mine,
and everything shatters.
His kiss fills me up,
all his pieces raining into me.
The sound of piano keys followed us down here, a Bonnie Tyler record spinning, leaking through the vents.
Grainy. Ghostlike.
Total Eclipse Of The Heartspilling around us.
We don’t notice until the chorus explodes,
and we break from the kiss at the same time.
Laughter cracks us wide open,
then fades fast.
And then we’re staring at each other, grinning.
A smile that sayswe’re doomed.
He slides a hand to the back of my neck.
“C’mere, angel. We can cry about it later.”
